Third Circuit: Sebastian Richardson v. Director Federal Bureau of Prisons

Class Actions, Mootness, FRCP


Where a representative of a class seeking prospective injunctive relief files a claim susceptible to mootness, there is not an untimely delay in seeking class certification, and the class nature of the claim is evident from the initial claim, the class certification can relate back to the filing date of the initial claim.
